(The whole studio is stirred up?)
(The hosts are startled?)
(Giants have shown up.)
(They won't spare themselves...)
(and they are frank!)
(A charming giant, Oh Yoon Ah)
(He may not look like it, but he's an innocent giant. Kim Soo Yong)
(A cheerful girl...)
(who has a giant's existence, Irene)
(The tallest giant in Korea!)
(He has turned into a creator who seeks for more views? Ha Seung Jin)
(Special host, Kim Bum Soo)
(He gets the start on the show from the beginning?)
(He never gets daunted. He's got a giant's confidence.)
(The giants will show you the magical world of human body.)
(In front of the psyched girl, even the giants are helpless.)
("Human Body Exploration: The World of Giants" begins now.)
(Episode 636)
My body is what women dream of.
I wear extra small and no matter what I wear,
- "Extra small". - it looks floppy on my slim body.
- Because you're so slim. - Yes.
- All clothes look floppy on me. - Right.
My face is actually that of an actor.
I've got Lee Byung Hun's jaw.
It really looks like Lee Byung Hun's.
And even my height...
He's that small?
I mean, we're almost the same.
(I mean, we're almost the same.)
All right. I'm about 185cm.
I have quite a good build,
but surprisingly, I can't wear tight T-shirts.
Because my breasts would stick out too much.
My face is surprisingly...
a perfect face for a girl group.
People on the internet picked three most beautiful girl group members.
- They are "Tzu-I-Ahn". - What's that?
- What's "Tzu-I-Ahn"? - Tzuyu, Irene,
and Ahn Young Mi.
- What a nonsense. - "Tzu-I-Ahn".
That's right. We turn even various different bodies...
like a slim body, a short body,
and sticking out breasts into laughter.
You're watching the high-end "If it's funny, it's fine" program,
- Radio Star. - Star.
- What did you mean earlier? - Today's special host is...
I have a perfect face for a girl group.
- Kim... - Will you focus?
- He's talking about me. - Kim Bum Soo is with us.
Welcome.
I feel more comfortable now.
By the way, it's been a long while since I've seen you this closely.
I feel very uncomfortable too.
This is my first time seeing Gu Ra from this up close.
This picture can be a meme.
When I hosted a radio show before,
he guested the show once.
But even then, he wasn't this close to me. This is the first time.
Jong Shin has been always this close to you...
- for the past 10 years? - I know.
- Goodness. - He was pretty good.
People these days often talk about...
Kim Soo Yong's dark circles,
my chins, and Young Mi's things.
But aren't you just tired of people talking about one's face?
Actually, Gu Ra said this first on television.
"We should stop talking about Bum Soo's face."
Exactly. I'm tired of it.
- It's been 10 years. - Right.
Is there anything else we can talk about?
- Pardon? - Something else.
- Is there something up with you? - I'm releasing a song in October...
and having a concert in December.
So you just keep singing.
There's nothing that can be made fun of on variety shows, right?
I'll try to make some.
(I'm sorry.)
I'll make some.
What's your determination today?
Actually, I think no others can fill in for Jong Shin.
He's irreplaceable.
So just think of me as your fifth guest.
Don't you think of relying on me.
I would like to talk about myself a lot today.
- I see. - Jong Shin also...
- talked a lot about himself. - Right.
He's the same.
Those who are egoistic seem to sit there.
- It must be the seat. - By the way,
no one is irreplaceable in the broadcasting business.
People just get forgotten.
Is that so?
Did you forget him already?
No matter how big they are,
they will always be replaced.
- That's cruel. - That's true.
Today, the average height of our guests is 188.5cm.
We have invited four tall people who haven't breathed the air down here.
"Human Body Exploration: The World of Giants".
She's 170cm and she's got a golden body...
of a perfect proportion.
As she ages, her face gets younger and younger.
An actress with a face that gets more and more beautiful, Oh Yoon Ah.
(An actress that gets more and more beautiful, Oh Yoon Ah.)
Gosh, Yoon Ah.
- "Yoon Ah"? - We're very close.
- Are you? - Do you know her?
That's impressive.
We are best friends.
Are you?
- You'll see later. - You look so pathetic.
"Gosh, Yoon Ah."
Okay.
You may think he's got nothing but dark circles,
but actually, he's one tall man who is 185cm tall.
He used to be called a rising star, but he's been stagnated.
Still, he's a cheat code in Radio Star at least.
- Welcome. - Gosh, Soo Yong.
- He's very sexy. - He looks excited now.
(Jolly)
She's 178cm tall.
She's a world-famous model and influencer.
Even Paris Hilton wants to follow her and be followed by her.
She's a cool and cheerful girl.
Model Irene.
(Model Irene)
He makes even Seo Jang Hoon look like a tiny boy.
He's 221cm tall...
and is the tallest basketball player in Korea.
He's also the first player to play in the NBA league,
but all he did was two assists.
An ex-basketball player and current YouTuber, Ha Seung Jin!
- Ha Seung Jin. - Welcome.
Let's see how they enter.
(Oh Yoon Ah, Kim Soo Yong, Irene, Ha Seung Jin)
Look at that.
The set is too small.
I was expecting to see him destroying the set.
- Hello. - They're all tall.
They're so tall.
Seung Jin, what's that on your arm?
- Is it a 4-leaf clover? - It's a 3-leaf clover.
- What is that? - My wife just drew it for fun.
- I see. - I shouldn't have asked.
It was nothing.
Why do you grow a beard?
(What kind of first question is that?)
Well...
- It makes your face smaller. - Is that why?
- Does it? - Really?
Gu Ra, don't you want to grow a beard too?
I'm actually very jealous of those who grew beard like him.
- My beard doesn't grow. - I see.
- Yours doesn't either, right? - Mine grows well.
- It does? - Yes.
- If I skip shaving just one day... - It grows well?
- I get all hairy. - Let me see.
- I see. - You don't call that beard.
Look at Soo Yong.
I shaved today.
Soo Yong, from a distance,
it looks like you're growing beard around your eyes too.
(Your dark circles look like beard around your eyes.)
- Does it? - Yes.
I saw him in the waiting room earlier,
and it was my first time seeing him.
I thought his dark circles were make-up.
I thought he put on a make-up too.
- You didn't? - That's his charm.
- Is that a make-up? - No.
- It's not, right? - Why would he...
(He deliberately made them look dark?)
I know having a character is important,
but why would he make dark circles...
when his family and friends are watching this?
Our variety show business isn't that corrupted.
That's ridiculous.
- They're natural. - Seeing it from up close...
Now I see them in a bright place,
they look really dark.
I get what you mean, but...
Why don't you all try touching them?
- It went all the way down here. - Okay.
All right.
Yoon Ah, you accidentally agreed...
- to guest Radio Star? - You did?
- What does that mean? - Actually,
I watch Radio Star very often these days.
I'm a huge fan of Young Mi.
So I have been watching the show often.
But then, I got invited by the crews.
They told me Ha Seok Jin and IVY would be guesting this episode.
And I'm a close friend with them.
What?
How could you mishear it like that?
- We haven't invited them. - There must have been something...
stuck in my manager's ears.
Well, "Ha Seung Jin" sounds pretty similar...
to "Ha Seok Jin".
And I also heard Bum Soo would be here.
- That's why. - So I said,
"Really? That's great!" Because I'm close to them.
I thought it was going to be a best friend special episode.
So I was psyched about it.
But then I got a text message...
that there will be Ha Seung Jin, the basketball player,
and Irene, the model.
And I'm not related to them in any way.
There's no link between me and these people.
So I got flustered. It's not like I didn't want to come to the show.
I have always wanted to meet them.
- Me too. - They're so good.
- Did you not hear about Soo Yong? - No, I didn't.
(No, I didn't.)
- You didn't? - I know why.
Not until the last minute.
- They probably hid it. - In case she wouldn't come,
they must have hidden it.
They must have hidden it lest she wouldn't come.
(Radio Star's secret weapon works better when hidden.)
- All right. - Soo Yong,
I heard you're very motivated to do variety shows.
People on the internet are surprised...
to see how Soo Yong changed.
- We have prepared something. - We have a picture.
- What is that? - This is how he's changed.
He's become more responsive.
- He used to be not so responsive. - He was dull before.
What is this though?
Is it a variety show or a drama?
- It must be a drama. - It's "Where is My Home".
- This is from a variety show? - Yes.
It's a variety show.
(While touring the house...)
(Even the apathetic man is startled.)
Did you act like this on purpose or...
Half on purpose.
It was partly intended, of course.
She was introducing the house to us.
- If I looked indifferent, - That would be weird.
no one would like to buy the house.
- So that was for the capitalism. - You have your point.
Maybe it's because I know all this, but you look so awkward.
That hand looks so awkward.
- His hand looks really awkward. - Look.
- I know. - It looks like a sitcom.
- A sitcom? - I get that it's intended, but...
I'm usually known...
- as a tired and dull man. - Right.
And now I'm a bit tired of it.
- I see. - You're tired of the persona.
- I'm tired of it. - But you haven't even shown...
much of that.
What did you show us?
I'm sure some people just got to learn about you.
- This is my first time seeing you. - Really?
Nice to meet you.
Look how fascinated they all are.
- He feels so new to me. - He has been away for long.
At least today, you can relax.
- He's right. - Looking too fate...
would rather make the viewers feel uncomfortable.
You look much brighter now though.
(Enough!)
Your eyes look brighter.
Young Mi and I hosted a show together last year.
Right.
When the cameras went off, we talked about things.
I told her, "My dream is to stay a TV personality..."
"while not receiving so much attention."
Then Young Mi said,
"Soo Yong, your dream has almost come true."
- His dream has come true. - Well said.
Very well said.
But he didn't seem to know it.
- I see. - He can't get any less attention.
(He can't get any less attention.)
I'm a big fan of Irene.
As one of the fashion people,
I'm very interested in her.
I heard you love fashion.
See? She knows it.
Anyway, she's a successful model,
influencer, and a fashion CEO.
She's successful in many fields.
And you were recognized by the Forbes and the Times too?
As for the Forbes, I didn't know I was listed on it.
One of my fans posted this on the social media...
that I was selected as 1 of the 30 most influential people under 30.
I wasn't sure how I got selected.
- I was amazed. - Then...
what is your main job?
I used to be a model, but now I came back to Korea.
Since I like fashion and clothes,
I started creating contents...
and participating in international fashion weeks.
I love fashion, so that's what I'm doing.
And when The Times contacted me,
they contacted me through the social media.
So I thought it was a scam.
Because I usually get a lot of messages.
They sent you a message on the social media?
- I get why you were suspicious. - "We would like to interview you."
"Me?"
"Are you sure it's not Red Velvet's Irene that you want to interview?"
And the reporter of The Times came to Korea...
and interviewed me.
That's amazing.
I heard somethings are...
lying on the floor in your room?
My suitcases.
Because I go on so many business trips abroad.
One of the suitcases is filled...
- only with shoes. - Only with shoes?
Yes, I have big feet, so...
What's your foot size?
255mm.
That's not big.
Apparently you haven't met people who really have big feet.
I have seen a woman who has 290-sized feet.
- What's your foot size? - 350mm.
- 350mm? - 350mm?
- Goodness. - Oh, my gosh.
I have never heard of anyone whose foot size is 350mm.
My feet aren't that big compared to my height though.
(My feet aren't that big compared to my height though.)
- Excuse me. - Is this a thing these days?
Compared to his height, his feet are quite small, yes.
When tall people eat burgers,
they look like macarons.
He's right.
The basketball players in the NBA League...
like Shaquille O'Neal have really big feet.
- His feet are about 430mm big. - Right.
- 430mm? - 430mm?
- My feet are considered small. - Small?
- All right. - Okay.
Lately, Irene has been excelling...
on variety shows with her out-of -this-world bubbly personality.
You said that you can greet anyone as if they are your best friends...
- and give big reactions. - Of course.
- She goes abroad a lot. - That's right.
You go to other countries a lot.
Why don't you do it to Mr. Ha?
- Mr. Ha. - Mr. Ha. What's up?
- She's excited. - Hey.
- It's so good to see you. - They haven't met before.
- Gu Ra! - Mr. Gu.
- Gu Ra. - Okay. Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you. - Hey.
- Mr. Gu. - Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you. - Bum Soo. Hey.
- How are you? - Yes. How are you?
- Yes, yes. - She's unique.
- This is nice. - Oh, my gosh.
Oh, my gosh.
- I love you, Young Mi. - I love you.
- I love you. - Will they say bye like this today?
(Cheek kissing)
It's an American style.
- What are you doing? - Well,
- this is how I say hello. - What are you doing?
- I meet many fashion enthusiasts. - Here's what I observed.
- You seem slightly awkward. - Awkward?
- I'm a bit clumsy. - Of course.
- I saw her greeting people. - I'm clumsy.
- She hugs and all, but her face... - She's shy a bit.
She seemed shy when hugging.
- But... - You seem a bit threatening.
But this guy seems really unhappy.
- She didn't give me a hug. - My gosh.
It's because he looks unhappy.
- She skipped him. - He's upset.
Soo Yong, you are the Grim Reaper.
Are you really from the underworld?
Her excitement is out-of-this-world. And I'm just out of this world.
You greet people like this because of your career, right?
Yes, when I work, I tend to speak in an enthusiastic manner.
And when celebrities from abroad come to Korea,
I must look excited saying, "Welcome to Korea".
I met my role model yesterday.
- Who? - Who is it?
- Rihanna. - I see.
- She was late to the event. - Yes.
- That's right. - Yes.
Why was she late?
- It was because of a traffic jam. - Traffic...
I'm asking someone who actually met her!
My goodness.
- I read the article too. - Seriously?
If you did, why are you asking her again?
- I'm asking just in case. - He's weird.
- She didn't tell me why. - Really?
- She's so funny. - Right.
You're driving me crazy because you're so funny.
She's not that funny.
She's really funny.
I guess he's jealous.
I really applaud her for standing her ground.
Is it your very first time...
- meeting everyone here? - Very first time?
No, I've seen everyone on TV.
- I saw you guys on TV. - I saw you at that event.
- At the event, - Right.
- she received the award. - That's right.
- I presented the award. - Right. You presented the award.
Why are you giving her a lesson? My goodness.
- It's fine as long as she got it. - I had a nude photoshoot.
My gosh.
The magazine that hired me for the nude photoshoot...
had an event.
- So I went to present the award. - You had a nude photoshoot?
- Yes, I had a nude photoshoot. - You did?
- It wasn't a real nude photoshoot. - A long time ago.
- It was a semi-nude photoshoot. - Semi-nude photoshoot.
- I hid some parts like this. - That's so cool.
But her photoshoot left a big impact on the fashion industry.
At that awards, you wore a dress.
- You did a high fashion pose. - That's right.
- That went viral. - Yes.
- It was... - That was original.
- This was done by Jang Do Yeon. - That's right.
- You were about to call me a thief. - No.
- You were about to call me a thief. - Lately, I got a lot of complaints.
- "Point out when she's wrong." - There he goes again.
- I've never done that. - That's Jang Do Yeon's.
- This is Do Yeon's. - Right.
- This is definitely hers. - On the wall...
- That's Na Rae's. - It's Na Rae's.
- The pose I did was this. - Keep things accurate.
- Right, right. - I remember that.
That was definitely mine.
That pose had the biggest impact.
- Yes, this is the most memorable. - Right.
- Like this. - I'm about to vomit.
I did this when I said hello.
And I gave her the award.
(Showing good manners at the awards)
It's been four months since you retired as a basketball player.
- Yes. - You were with KCC, right?
You said that your current job is a YouTuber.
Well, it's embarrassing to say that I'm a YouTuber.
But I'm busy with my YouTube channel now.
From what I've observed,
former basketball players...
would take a break...
or do some volunteer work.
And they'd go back to the industry related to basketball.
That's the usual path.
You became a YouTuber as soon as you retired.
- That was a bit unexpected. - Right.
First of all, I think it has to do with my personality.
My personality pushes me to endlessly look for fun things.
I can't do something if it's boring or not fun.
- I can't do them. - What about your family life?
What about your family life?
- My family life is very fun. - If having fun is that important...
- A lot of things happen with kids. - I always have fun at home.
Family life is the most boring thing ever.
- I'm so happy. I have a lot of fun. - Of course.
- Why are you so mean? - I'm so happy.
- Is that so? - My ears are getting hot.
- That's unusual. - His ears got red.
How long has it been since you got married?
- It's been 8 years. - 8 years.
- Yes. - That's when things get boring.
Were you happy throughout eight years?
- I have a lot of fun. It's perfect. - Really?
I saw Seung Jin's video on his YouTube channel.
- He's so eloquent. - He is?
As for Jang Hoon or Ho Dong,
they were athletes too.
Actually, Ho Dong just yells at people.
He's not that impressive.
- Jang Hoon just gets annoyed. - Right. That's right.
- But he's very eloquent. - And...
here's a thing.
This is a prejudice against tall people.
They talk slowly.
But Seung Jin has a good voice.
- That's right. - I didn't expect that from him.
- Thank you. - Exactly.
Recently, you uploaded a video with a title,
"Why KBL Is Doomed".
- And that video got a lot of views. - Really?
You came up with a provoking title to get more views.
- Your colleagues may criticize you. - And you just retired too.
- You know what? - So...
They threw a fuss, saying you're ruining the league after retirement.
(To be honest, KBL matches aren't fun even for the players.)
(This is the reality of KBL.)
(Seung Jin shared his thoughts after gathering up the courage.)
(There's a lot of pressure in the atmosphere.)
(This is a frustrating reality Seung Jin witnessed.)
At first, I made this video...
with good intentions.
I talked about the reality the KBL is facing now...
and many incidents that happened inside the league.
From the insiders' point of view,
they might be embarrassed.
That's how much I exposed them.
Some of my colleagues and players said...
that it felt nice to see me talk about the truth.
Some colleagues said that to me.
But the higher-ups...
were uncomfortable by the video.
I didn't mean that to happen, but my video...
actually backfired. When I first made it, I meant well.
But things are tense now. So I'm really sorry...
to the people in the KBL.
I want to correct it now.
After this episode,
if that video grabs attention and there's a controversy about it,
I think I should delete the video.
But the video is getting a lot of views.
- Right. - That's driving me crazy.
- I want people to stop watching. - I mean...
- It's not that. - Didn't you make it for the people?
- I can't take down the video now. - Excuse me.
Hear me out. You first made the video with good intentions.
You can upload a Part Two of the video.
In fact, I did prepare for a Part Two.
Given the current circumstance, if I make a Part Two...
- or a follow-up video, - It'll gather more attention.
- people will think I'm trolling it. - Right.
- Can I use the word, "trolling"? - Of course.
- That's not a bad word. - I'm used to YouTube videos.
- It means to attract attention. - I'm sorry.
- So I can't upload it. - You're a total YouTuber now.
I can't even take down the video.
I can't just keep it online either. I'm at a dilemma.
If I delete this video,
- people will think... - External pressure.
- I deleted due to pressure. - That's right.
- And when people say that, - People will talk.
I'm afraid that people will...
- criticize the KBL. - It might backfire.
I'll create a YouTube channel.
You should give that to me.
You said that you couldn't do anything about it.
Give it to me. Or give it to Soo Yong.
- You experts are different indeed. - Let me have it.
(He intercepts the video in a flash.)
- Tell me the content first. - Okay.
- And I'll be the one who talks. - Unbelievable.
All right.
Yoon Ah, you said that...
you saw Irene at an unexpected place.
- Me? - Yes.
- Where? - I saw you at a department store.
I was coming out, and she was entering.
That's when I saw her once.
And come to think of it, I saw her when I was in my car.
I was in my car,
but I saw her walking...
- Okay. - on Rodeo Street in Apgujeong.
It's true those are unexpected places, but...
But they weren't interesting?
If you saw her at a market in Majang-dong, it'd be interesting.
- Right. - On Rodeo Street,
- These places aren't that unusual. - there are a lot of models.
I have a story about unexpected places.
I was flossing my teeth like this.
And I met people's eyes a few times.
- Right. That happens. - I was so embarrassed.
- I was incredibly embarrassed. - Right.
This is how it happened. After having my meals,
I was flossing my teeth in my green room.
- That's so funny. - The staff was in the room.
And when our eyes meet,
I don't know what to do. What should I do then?
- You know? - You can sound excited.
(Hi!)
You can just do that.
He should do that while flossing?
(Unimaginable)
He'll say hello just like this?
(All of a sudden, it becomes a horror show.)
Irene, you said that you can give us...
English names that suit us based on our images.
Okay. Let's start with Young Mi.
Young Mi looks like...
Her greeting is popular.
She's sexy and charisma.
- Samantha. You're sexy, you know. - Samantha.
- Samantha from "Sex and the City"? - Samantha.
- Samantha. - She was my role model.
- Really? - What about Maggie? It's nice.
- Maggie. - Why Maggie? Why?
- Why? - You just look like Maggie to me.
- You want to mash me? - No, no.
- How about Maggie? - I have an English name.
- Joy. - Is it Joy?
- Enjoy. - Joy. Enjoy.
- That's totally you. - Enjoy.
- Or Easy. - Easy?
- Yes. - Easy.
- I'm easy. - You're easy.
(She's having a culture shock. And he has a headache.)
- Easy. That was so funny. - Easy.
- What about Gu Ra? - Gu Ra...
As for his image,
his voice is husky.
I can picture him getting off a motorcycle.
- He's a totally manly guy. - So he looks like...
- Victor. - What?
- Victor. - Victor.
- You're careful and manly. - Victor sounds nice.
- Victor. - Victor.
V-I-C-T-O-R.
- Victor. - Yes.
- Good job. That's right. - Victor.
- He's so annoying. - Victor.
- Victor. - Yes.
What about Bum Soo?
He looks like an artist.
He looks like someone...
- who studied music in Europe. - I like that. I like Europe.
Alexander.
- Alexander. - Alexander.
Does the name, Alexander, suit me?
- Yes, it does. - Alexander.
- She thinks highly of me then. - You look like Alexander.
- The name suits you well. - Alexander.
The name sounds like it belongs to a royal family.
What about me?
You seem very sweet...
and very friendly.
I guess I'll get a nice name.
Sammy.
- Sammy? - Sammy.
- Sammy is nice. - Sammy.
- That's a cute name. - Sammy.
- It's cute. - Sammy from semi-formal suit.
- That's a cute name, Sammy. - Sammy.
- Isn't that a dog's name? - Sammy.
- "Sam". - No, no.
- Take a semi-nude photoshoot too. - Sammy.
- Semi-nude photoshoot? - Yes.
- That's the photoshoot I had. - Sammy.
- He reminds me of Jong Shin. - Sammy.
- He and Jong Shin are similar. - Yes.
- A part of me is playful like him. - He reminds me of Jong Shin.
- Sammy is a nice name. - That's nice.
(Irene's English-name-making session is over.)
Seung Jin, there's a part of you that resembles Gu Ra completely.
Can you elaborate on it?
I...
- doubt people a lot. - I see.
- Do you have a "suspicious mind"? - Aren't you like that too?
- I don't trust people. - By the way,
I have a "suspicious mind", but there's something else too.
"Reasonable".
- What? - I doubt based on reason.
I don't doubt people based on nothing.
- I'm like that too. - Is that so?
- I doubt based on reason too. - Can you give me examples?
After my recent retirement,
my body was in a bad shape because I've been an athlete for so long.
I have a lot of shattered bones in my ankle.
I went to get them removed surgically.
Usually, they put you under, so you're asleep during surgery.
But once they cut open my ankle,
I don't know what could happen during the surgery.
When you watch dramas or movies,
there's a malpractice case.
"Hey, come out here. I cut the wrong part."
That might happen to me too.
- He watched too many movies. - I was just anxious.
I asked them to just do a local anesthesia around my ankle.
And afterward,
- they open up my ankle. - That's megalomania...
or victim mentality.
- But I'm not like that. - I was checking all four corners.
They were hammering and drilling into my ankle.
- I'm not like that. - That was a reasonable doubt.
- You should trust the doctor. - I'm not like that.
That's how much I don't trust people.
I'm not like that.
What does that make me then?
(He gets upset as Gu Ra draws a line between them.)
- I'm not like that. - Okay.
When I have an endoscopy, I don't get anesthesia.
- That's what he basically did. - Listen.
No, I'm different.
- Why? - Let me explain.
I like the feeling when the device comes into my mouth.
- You're so weird. - I like that feeling.
- Same here. - He's weird.
- That's why I do it without it. - Really?
- He's weird. - I don't trust people.
I tried to get my endoscopy without the anesthesia.
But that was so uncomfortable.
- I couldn't stand that feeling. - No, no.
You feel like gagging, but when it goes down one by one,
I would ask the doctor how it's going.
And I go like this.
That was nice. That's why I do it without anesthesia.
(It feels the best when you get it without anesthesia.)
Did the hospital bed fit you?
- Of course, not. - No.
- So what happened? - The bed...
- wasn't 2m long. - Probably not.
I bet I was the first one.
- I got the bed custom made. - I see.
I made a long bed to fit me.
- That's just for you. - Yes.
- That bed is made for you. - I see.
So athletes in Korea who are 2m 10cm tall...
- can go to that hospital. - They should go there.
For the hospital bed, you could get it custom made.
But I'm sure wherever you travel to,
- the beds must be small for you. - That's right.
First, I got my bed at home custom made.
- My bed at home is 2m 30cm long. - That's interesting.
- That's the bed at home. - But...
when I go on trips,
the beds at hotels are about 2m long.
- My legs would be sticking out. - Yes.
However, I didn't get taller...
- suddenly from 160cm to 220cm. - It didn't happen suddenly.
- You got used to it. - I got used to that slowly.
Even if my legs stick out by about this much,
- I'm used to that. - It's no biggie.
My body is used to that feeling.
I have a question.
- The bed is small for you. - Yes.
Then a part of your body would be sticking out.
Do you let your legs stick out? Or do you let your head stick out?
- Are you serious? - No, I'm really curious.
- So this is a reasonable doubt? - Yes.
I'm asking because I'm curious.
- You and I are about the same. - Why do you say that?
How can I sleep with my head sticking out of the bed?
- The head is too heavy. - Let me explain.
A lot of people's backs are hunched these days.
Some people do that on purpose.
- He's so weird. - That's forcing it.
- You think so? - You went too far.
(Is that so?)
(He's greatly disappointed at his unreasonable doubt.)
You are watching a high-end music program, Radio Star...
with four tall people that make you wonder...
what they had eaten to be this tall.
We'll start today's discussion,
"Human Body Exploration: The World of Giants".
- All right. - Seung Jin,
I bet a lot of people asked you what you ate to get that taller.
Supposedly, you have the answer to that.
- I know exactly the answer to it. - Okay.
- Everyone in my family is tall. - Right.
My grandpa was about 190cm.
- His dad was a basketball player. - Your grandpa?
- Yes. - His dad was a basketball player.
And my dad is over 2m tall.
- His dad was on the national team. - Yes.
- And his sister is famous too. - Your sister too.
- My bones are considered thin. - His dad was so tall.
But no watches can fit my dad's wrists.
- Really? - His bones are thicker than mine.
Then does it use a rubber band? How does he wear a watch?
- He doesn't wear watches. - A reasonable doubt.
- Is that so? - So this is a reasonable doubt?
I was wondering how he wore a watch. I thought he may use a rubber band.
He can wear a table clock on his wrist.
He's exaggerating now.
- Right. - I had a reasonable doubt.
- That's a reasonable doubt. - He's exaggerating it.
- He's exaggerating it now. - Right.
(His jokes are right up her alley.)
So the answer is your family's genes?
Yes. My conclusion is...
that height is in your DNA.
I'm sorry to say it, but I think that's the answer.
But in most cases,
when the mother is short, her children...
would be shorter.
That's why...
my son and daughter are very tall.
But they won't be as tall as I am.
My wife's DNA probably went to them.
- But you never know. - Right.
Right. You never know. That can't happen.
- Don't be so sure. - Right.
Bum Soo, you never know.
- Right? - Your growth plates are still open.
- Actually, - He might be taller later.
I wanted to ask a favor to today's guests.
If they all give me 5cm each,
- Exactly. - I'd be taller than an average guy.
- We should all share the wealth. - I'll give you 10cm.
Do you still have hopes for that?
- I won't stop hoping. - Right.
(Please grow taller, my legs.)
Yoon Ah,
you kept growing until the age of 20?
Yes, I think I grew until I was 20.
I always thought that I was 167cm.
- Okay. - Are you taller than that?
When I measured it again,
I was taller than 170cm.
I was about 171.2cm tall.
Yoon Ah, because of your height,
you got an unusual confession when you were in middle school?
I was tall and did ballet when I was in middle school.
So my hair was long.
No one thought that...
- I would be in middle school. - Right.
- They thought you were an adult. - So when I was on the street,
a lot of bikers would hit on me.
And college students too.
- The college students... - I haven't heard that for a while.
- "Biker". - I hate talking about this.
- But it just came out. - They were popular in your era too.
- No, I'm not that old. - I mean...
- I'm sorry. - I was in Generation X.
They probably didn't offer a ride to you.
I'm in Generation X.
- I was a student. Of course, not. - Back then,
- some guys followed me. - I bet.
- When you were in middle school? - Yes.
They just assumed that I was in high school.
College students would talk to me...
if they thought I was in high school.
Yoon Ah, when you act,
- you're scared of the slopes? - Yes.
A long time ago, there were a lot of short actors...
- and actresses. - There were a lot.
Back then, the houses were at the bottom of a mountain.
We filmed at a lot of luxurious houses.
And the streets were always uphill.
- They always stood at the bottom. - The guy was at the bottom.
And I always stood at the top.
Whenever we filmed those scenes,
- You had to keep your feet wide. - I had to stand with my feet wide.
And you have to look serious with that pose.
When we hug or kiss,
I have to do that.
Seriously.
It was so funny with my feet wide like that.
Is there an actor you remember?
- The one you acted with? - I can't name him.
- We'll know once we start digging. - I hate that.
- We'll find out. - That hurts their pride.
- He'd be insulted. - We'll find out once we dig.
Should I make an effort and find out who he is?
No, no.
(Let's keep his pride intact.)
Seung Jin, when you were born,
- you weighed 5.6kg. - That's impressive.
That's impressive.
- Your family was so surprised. - 5.6kg?
- It must've been hard for his mom. - It must've been hard for her.
- 3kg is enough to call babies big. - What a tough job for your mom.
- 5.6kg. - My gosh.
The interesting part is...
- my sister weighed 5.7kg. - My goodness.
- His mom is incredible. - Here's a more interesting part.
My mom delivered us naturally.
Really?
Did you walk as soon as you were born?
No, I didn't.
What are you talking about?
- I just thought he might have. - So...
when she was about to go into labor, her stomach was so big.
- People thought she had twins. - Twins.
They were ready to receive twins.
One big baby came out.
A baby that looked like 100 days old came out.
Which month did she deliver you? Did she complete the term?
- Did she finish the term? - Was it after 10 months?
Yes, she gave birth to me after 10 months.
But when a tall baby stayed in her stomach for a long time,
I couldn't stretch my legs for a month.
I had my legs bent like this.
Those babies don't look like newborn babies.
They look like a grown-up baby.
- He came out as a grown-up baby. - They have hair too.
Some babies' hair is already parted when they come out.
Their hair is already parted.
Some babies have their hair parted when they are born.
- Let's take a look at the photo. - Right.
- Let's look. - 5kg...
Goodness.
Was that when you were just born?
- When you were just born? - That was when I was a month old.
- My goodness. - Who is this?
- Unbelievable. - My sister.
We can't tell from here. Were you 100 days old?
- 1 month. - 1 month?
- Then, you were really big. - 1 month.
- He was really big then. - Exactly.
- His mom had a natural childbirth. - We can tell from this.
- Goodness. - Gosh.
- Were you guys the same age? - They must be your friends.
- People would think you're older. - We were the same age.
- They look younger. - Right.
They weren't younger than you?
- They were the same age. - You were the same age?
- They were the same age. - They are my friends.
- Are you sure? - Goodness.
- They were the same age. - My kindergarten friends.
These friends look intimidated.
Seriously.
I can't picture them holding hands.
You look like their teacher.
I'm serious.
(Looking solemn)
Look at that.
Aren't I right? This story was the most fun.
This is so fun.
(He's so tall all by myself.)
Irene, you received countless offers thanks to your height.
- Yes. - What kind of offers?
I played volleyball.
- Volleyball? - I played volleyball...
- from middle school to high school. - What was your position?
- I was the center. - She's tall.
- Right. - She was tall.
- The school basketball coach... - I see.
- begged me to play in the team. - He scouted you.
- But I'm bad at contact sports. - I see.
It's hard for me.
- So I quit after playing... - You couldn't do it.
- for a while. - Can you demonstrate...
your spikes here?
I'm just curious.
- Spikes? - Can you spike a ball at his face?
- What is she saying? - Spike.
- It's been so long since I played. - You're unbelievable.
- We'll know once we see your form. - My form?
No one has asked you to demonstrate this before, right?
I haven't done this anywhere.
I want to see your form.
- Volleyball players stand... - All right.
- like this. - You have the right form.
You have the right form.
- A ball is flying towards you. - Then I go up...
and do this.
(Take this!)
(It's my spike!)
You have the right form.
- That's right. - You do.
Now, I want to play volleyball.
(Bumping)
Now, I want to play volleyball.
Air volleyball.
What are you doing?
(She suddenly falls in love with volleyball.)
- I played volleyball for a while. - In real life,
she has the best proportions.
That's right.
She has amazing legs...
because she is a model. Seriously.
I don't know if I should say this...
on the show,
- but she is Bum Soo's type. - Then don't say it.
- So it feels like... - Why would she say it?
they are on a blind date.
- That's right. - Who introduces who?
You know, she changed a lot since she became 40.
She tried to set them up.
- She suddenly did that. - Well,
I remembered that Irene is Bum Soo's type.
She should have been more considerate of us.
Listen.
I simply talked about the impression I got.
Of course I like women like Irene.
- I have mentioned it on TV. - That's why I brought it up.
You like tall women.
- That's right. However, - He likes tall women.
being tall isn't the most important trait.
Otherwise, I would have confessed my love for Seung Jin.
(His heart flutters.)
(Laughing)
Soo Yong, I heard that you couldn't enter some place...
because of your tall stature.
- The dormitory of my school... - Chungang University.
didn't accept students who were over 180cm tall.
- The dormitory didn't? - The old beds...
were too small for tall students.
It was like that back in the days.
Being over 190cm tall exempted you from the regular military service.
- It was like that back in the days. - Really?
I couldn't live in the dormitory.
Did being too tall exempt you from the regular military service?
- It was like that back in the days. - Being too tall...
Then where did you sleep?
- What? - He slept at home.
- I slept at home. - Isn't that obvious?
- I slept at home. - He had no choice.
You wouldn't believe it, but I had home.
Seriously.
He had home.
Did you think he slept outside?
- He had home. - I wasn't homeless.
I wasn't homeless.
(Yoon Ah bursts out laughing.)
You are really funny.
(His sense of humor suits her style.)
Was it that funny?
The two of you get along well.
- Was it that funny? - You know,
- Yoon Ah likes Soo Yong so much. - It was really funny.
- He is... - Thank you.
(A simple response from Soo Yong makes her laugh.)
Yoon Ah, because of your tall stature,
you were busy reducing other parts of your body.
Tall people like me have...
- broad shoulders. - That's right.
Thus, I looked really fat...
onscreen.
- That happens. - So...
I was so obsessed with appearing skinny...
that I reached the weight of 45kg.
- You were too skinny. - I used to be very skinny.
- With that height? - You used to be very skinny.
I was in "Childless Comfort" then.
- That's when you were obsessed. - I used to be very skinny.
I didn't even look pretty onscreen.
- My face looked bad. - That's right.
My body looked okay,
but my face looked bad.
However, I was so obsessed that I continued to go on a diet.
I ate five cherry tomatoes a day.
You look relaxed these days.
- I look relaxed, right? - Yes.
After some time,
I found the weight...
that makes my face look the best onscreen.
That's 51kg to 52kg.
I am still skinny.
I make an effort to keep that weight.
Bum Soo, I heard that you don't use insoles anymore.
You always give me the last question.
(Every topic ends with Bum Soo.)
- It happened that way. - I always get the last question.
(They take care of their special MC.)
- I was obsessed with insoles, - They destroy your back.
but they ruined my self-esteem.
- That's right. - When I stood next to someone,
the fact I was wearing insoles made me feel small.
I decided to be confident...
and make up for my height with a sense of style.
Also,
people can tell if you are wearing insoles.
They make your shoes bulge unnaturally.
- You know what I mean, right? - I do.
They make you walk funny.
They make you stick out like this.
"Why are you standing like that?" "What? Oh, I am sorry."
They make you stand like this.
It's meaningless to wear insoles.
Seung Jin,
there is a special greeting you do...
with tall basketball players.
One time, I participated in an international competition.
The Iranian team has a player named Hamed Haddadi.
- That's right. - He is as tall as I am.
- He is very tall. - He is as tall as I am.
Since we see each other often at international competitions,
we are very close despite being in different teams.
We greet each other.
We high-fived each other in a cool way.
When we did that, people burst out laughing.
We did it over a car.
(They high-fived over a car.)
You did it over a car.
"They are giants!"
We did it over the roof of an SUV.
We didn't even realize that...
we were high-fiving over a car.
- It just happened naturally. - It just happened naturally.
Seung Jin, thanks to your height,
you have many funny photos.
We have some photos.
Seo Jang Hoon comes up to your armpit.
- Your armpit. - How did you find that photo?
Seo Jang Hoon comes up to your armpit.
Who is this woman?
She is my wife.
She is over 170cm tall.
170cm.
- I thought she was your daughter. - It's perspective distortion.
Who is she?
- A reporter? - She is a reporter.
She is holding the microphone like a torch.
(It's hard to be a reporter.)
She is holding the microphone like a torch.
- Who is she? Kim Yeon Koung? - Kim Yeon Koung.
- She looks tiny. - What a surprise!
- She is... - She is very tall.
about 189cm tall.
- She is over 190cm tall. - 190cm.
(The photos are shocking.)
Why did you have to choose that photo of Jang Hoon?
(Humiliating)
Seung Jin, this is quite unexpected.
You prefer the low toilet.
Yes, I do. You know,
I told you this many times over.
I didn't become tall overnight.
I have been tall ever since I was a child.
Thus, I am used to the standard size.
You prefer the size that is small for your height.
My father was like,
"It must have been inconvenient because the toilet is too low."
"I put cement on the bottom..."
- "to raise the toilet." - He raised the toilet.
"I raised the toilet by 15cm. It should be comfortable now."
I went home and used the toilet.
It was so uncomfortable.
I had never experienced such angle and posture.
I was constipated for half a year.
- Really? - I struggled a lot.
You were uncomfortable.
- I lowered the toilet again. - You were used to squatting.
I bet it's impossible for you to use...
the squat toilet.
I can use it without a problem.
Would you show us?
- Please show us. - What?
Please show us.
- It's a reasonable doubt. - There is a reason...
why I ask.
I am tall.
If there is a squat toilet,
I have to hold the pole...
as I use it.
- I can squat. - Really?
- I can squat like this. - I see.
- Really? - He has the right form.
I have pooped many times.
I see.
"I have pooped many times."
(Men who are over 2m tall can use the squat toilet.)
Soo Yong, your trademark isn't the tall stature,
- but dark circles. - Yes.
I heard that your daughter trembles...
when she sees your dark circles.
My daughter was worried.
"Dad, I don't have dark circles right now."
- "Will I get them later?" - "When I grow up..."
It's understandable.
"Will I get dark circles like you?"
I said, "Yes, you will."
- That way, she can be prepared. - "It will happen at the age of 20."
The age of 20.
I told her that...
she will get them when she is an adult.
She cried.
I have a daughter, right?
I am quite hairy.
- That's right. - I have hair all over my body.
- I have hair all over my body. - You are really hairy.
I didn't get hair transplantation.
- He is really hairy. - I am not wearing arm warmers.
- This is my hair. - He is really hairy.
- Touch his hair. - So warm!
(So warm!)
I can tell that...
she doesn't really like it. Her face turned red.
She doesn't really like it.
She isn't so brazen.
Her emotions show. Her face turned red.
Don't be so stressed out.
He is worried.
How is the life of a hairy woman?
Back in the days, people said beautiful women are hairy.
She has hair down her back.
- Down her back? - Really?
- My daughter does. - How old is she?
She is 11 years old.
- She is too young. - When she becomes...
- an adult... - It isn't coarse hair.
- It's soft hair. - If it's soft hair,
- she can shave and such. - I think his daughter...
will tell him,
"Dad, stop talking about me."
- Right? - That's right.
"Why would you talk about my hair?"
That's right.
She does say that.
Right?
When I saw Soo Yong on TV as a child,
- I worried a lot about his health. - It's understandable.
I now realize that...
the dark circles have nothing to do with his health.
Your colors improved.
That's right.
Your face used to be...
cement-colored.
Cement-colored!
(Your face used to be cement-colored.)
Yoon Ah, the wonder of your body lies on your joints.
You are well-known among doctors...
since your joints get dislocated a lot.
Do your joints get dislocated a lot?
Recently, my arm got dislocated in a strange fashion.
- Your arm did. - My arm did.
These days,
I dance to keep my body in shape.
I was circling my arm when it suddenly got dislocated.
- It just happened. - That's right.
- That's how easily... - Did it hurt?
Yes, it did. It hurt a lot.
I thought she might be used...
- to the pain. - Since it happens too often,
- I put my arm back in place. - I see.
When did you get the know-how?
The first time my arm got dislocated,
I called the hospital.
I put my arm back into place in the meanwhile.
That happened on your way to the hospital.
- Did it just happen? - Yes, it did.
- You moved. - I moved a bit...
and the arm got back into place.
I felt it go back into the socket.
I figured out how to do it.
Then my arm continued to get dislocated.
- The habitual dislocation. - I developed it.
- So... - Is it just this arm?
It used to be the case with both arms.
What do you do when both arms get dislocated?
That happened once.
- What did you do? - I was wakeboarding.
I didn't think about my habitual dislocation.
Then I felt like my left arm would get dislocated.
I let go. When I let go, my right arm got dislocated as well.
- What did you do? - The impact...
- put my left arm into place. - You fell into the water.
Then I put my right arm back into place.
I see.
Why didn't you tell us such an interesting story before?
It's so interesting.
Didn't you dislocate your arm during the shoot?
Today? It didn't happen today.
She lost her navel from laughing so hard because of you.
- That's right. - I lost my navel.
I lost my navel.
He is really funny.
The two of them get along nicely.
We should go to events together.
(Oh and Kim's tour)
Habitual dislocation used to exempt you...
- from regular military service. - That's right.
- Habitual dislocation. - It's understandable.
Do you know what's funny?
I was on "Real Man 300".
You were on "Real Man 300".
(Yoon Ah did all kinds of training that used her arms.)
One more. There you go.
The last one. Hang in there.
In the 3rd division,
I did an amazing job.
It was quite expected.
I was very glad.
The next year,
the production crew invited me over again...
for the Special Force Special.
Before the shoot,
I had done charity work in Africa...
- and a photoshoot in the US. - You were tired.
It was an exhausting photoshoot too.
I was so exhausted...
that I lost all my muscles. I had no time to work out.
I had the shoot two days after the last schedule.
With "Real Man 300", you can't go home in the middle.
I was about to go crazy...
because I knew my body wasn't ready.
I thought that I would be able to go home...
- if my arms dislocate. - Then...
you would have no choice.
I thought that...
I could act like I can't put my arms back in place...
- and take an ambulance. - It's a good use of your condition.
It's a good idea.
I wanted to do that,
but my arms refused to dislocate.
- Her arms didn't cooperate. - I even had to hang...
- from the horizontal bar. - Your arms didn't dislocate.
- They stayed in place. - How strange!
- It's strange. - They don't cooperate.
Usually, the smallest things cause them to dislocate.
I didn't know you had such interesting stories.
It's so interesting.
(Her stories of dislocation suit Gu Ra's tastes.)
Dislocation isn't your only talent.
You are incredibly flexible.
The thing is,
I majored in dance when I was younger...
even though my family didn't have financial security.
My teacher couldn't give up on me...
because of my flexibility.
- You were so flexible. - I was so flexible.
Back in the days,
I could split legs easily.
Why don't you show us?
- You know, - Do your legs dislocate?
I practiced hard...
- for this show. - Okay.
I pushed myself too hard three days ago.
When I tried out some moves...
yesterday,
I found that my muscles are stiff.
Are you saying you can't do it?
I can do it. I can do it, but...
- don't expect anything dramatic. - She is explaining the situation.
- I get it now. - We were too expectant.
- Don't be too expectant. - All right.
We won't expect anything dramatic.
Show us what you can do.
I won't start out...
on the floor.
This is my specialty.
(She shows her specialty.)
(Her leg comes higher than her head.)
This is my specialty.
- A split. - This is...
- She is wearing heels too. - She will give it a try.
I was a newly debuted actress the last time I did this on camera.
(Splitting)
She is flexible.
A split isn't hard.
Young Mi and I have done pilates,
- so we know that it's hard. - That's right.
Turning the pelvis is the difficult part.
You are so flexible.
(Her flexibility is insane.)
You could go easy on the stories now.
- She secured enough screen time. - You have done an amazing job.
- Today... - Our jaws are about to dislocate.
(Our jaws are about to dislocate.)
Soo Yong, do you have a unique thumb specialty?
Yes, I have...
a unique thumb.
It doesn't hurt no matter how much you press it.
Really?
Do you endure the pain?
No, I don't feel pain.
Really?
- Is there no sensation? - My left thumb hurts a lot.
But my right thumb is fine...
even if a strong man presses down on it.
- Seung Jin, press down on it. - I will give it a try.
- Okay. - Give it a try.
- You said so yourself. - Would it be okay?
- Hold on. - Even if he doesn't feel pain...
It's not this way.
- It's not this way. It's this way. - Soo Yong,
- tell us if it hurts. - Okay.
I won't be liable even if something goes wrong, right?
Of course.
You can't detach it from my hand.
- That's right. - You can't pull it out.
Don't try to destroy it.
This is a variety show.
You can't twist it.
He is determined to destroy it.
- Don't detach it from his hand. - That's right.
Don't teach it from his hand.
Press down on it. Don't pull it out.
- Wouldn't it hurt? - He was right.
It doesn't hurt.
Really?
Press down on my left thumb.
Then press down on my right thumb.
It feels empty.
- Why? - Did something happen?
Well,
I shouldn't fabricate a funny story.
- Don't fabricate a story. - Tell us what happened.
Nothing happened, right?
- Nothing happened. - I knew it.
Let me tell you this.
In middle school,
- you crack your knuckles often. - That's right.
I tried to crack the knuckle in my right thumb.
"Why is it so soft?"
When I pressed down on it, I realized that there is no pain.
That's when you found out.
That's when you found out I don't feel pain...
- in my right thumb. - In your life,
have you ever felt pride because of this?
- Of course I have. - Has it ever been useful?
When I fall down,
- I can land on my right thumb. - You can sprain your fingers.
Most people would get sprained fingers.
Most people would get broken fingers.
Ouch!
Ta-da!
(I fooled you.)
Irene, you have a small specialty...
that uses your body.
I can move one side of my face.
- Like your ear? - Can you move one ear?
I can move 1 ear and 1 eyebrow.
Please show us.
I can do this.
- They are moving. - How does she do that?
- I can do that. - Let's see it.
- What? - He did it so easily.
I can't move one side.
Move one side only.
He is better at it.
(Laughing)
He is better at it.
- Let me see. - Try it.
Move one side.
(He shows a brilliant specialty with a straight face.)
- His ear is about to fly away. - He can do it so well.
Can't you move both sides?
- I can't move this side. - Really?
I can only move one side.
I can only move both sides.
It's fascinating that you can only move one side.
What are you doing there?
Your face is too grotesque.
He did it so easily.
(Isn't it grotesque?)
- How fascinating! - It's fascinating.
The thing is,
when someone says something useful on a show...
(Gu Ra's meme)
That's how you prick up your ears.
That's right.
When Young Mi says something weird...
(Gu Ra's meme)
Seung Jin, you prepared a basketball specialty.
I really want to see this.
(The tallest center's basketball specialty)
- I can spin a basketball. - That's nothing new.
(It's easy.)
- That's nothing new. - Anyone can do it.
- I can juggle a basketball. - A juggling trick.
Can you do a juggling trick?
- Let's see a juggling trick. - That's incredible.
(He stands tall.)
He can hold three basketballs in his hands.
- I will give it a try. - The cameramen need to stand up.
Look at the cameramen.
(It looks like he will destroy the studio.)
(The man who is 221cm tall shows off a juggling trick.)
(Basketballs, how is the air up there?)
(Their jaws drop.)
He is good.
(He has showmanship as well.)
- He has showmanship as well. - Can you hold it with one hand?
- Yes. - One hand.
I find it so fascinating.
(It sticks to his hand.)
How can he do that?
Basketball players can do it...
even if their hands aren't big...
because they handle the ball so much.
- Can they hold it with one hand? - Yes.
- Try it. - I can never do it.
You have no sensation in your right thumb.
- Of course you can't hold it. - Hold it with your left hand.
Irene,
you ruled the world with your hair.
(My goodness.)
What are these photos?
You have dyed your hair...
- so many times. - She has tried every color.
She looks like Tae Yeon in this photo.
- Right? - You are right.
She looks like Tae Yeon in this photo.
In this photo, she looks like Lee Ji Hye.
You suddenly moved on to Lee Ji Hye.
In the photo below that one, she looks like Son Yeon Jae.
- Son Yeon Jae. - She resembles Son Yeon Jae a lot.
- This one? - I heard that a lot.
- She has tried so many hair colors. - I know.
Which hair was your favorite?
That blue hair was my first dyed hair.
It was the ombre style.
Working as a model,
I had reached a slump.
I dyed my hair without notifying my agency.
They were like, "You will lose all your jobs."
- Why? - They want...
to see Asian models...
with darker hair.
Thankfully, I changed...
that preference.
I took on the most number of shows with the dyed hair...
that season.
- No one expected that. - I was able...
to change my image.
Do you talk to Kim Jang Hoon these days?
(What?)
Why did you suddenly bring up Kim Jang Hoon?
Jang Hoon likes to dye his hair.
- I remember his red hair. - You do, right?
- How many times did you bleach it? - It ruins the texture of your hair.
I dyed my hair a lot. I did it for four years.
I must have done it about 100 times.
- Seriously. - How did your hair survive?
You should stop dying your hair now.
Yes. My hair became very thin...
- and my scalp became itchy. - It ruins your scalp.
- I developed pattern baldness. - It ruins your scalp.
That's why I am sticking to black hair now.
- Stop talking about yourself. - After bleaching 100 times...
I was talking to myself!
- Just think I farted with my mouth. - Okay, okay.
(Ignore Young Mi's words and focus on Irene.)
Irene, you participate in a lot of international events.
And one of the Hollywood stars asked for your number.
Yes.
Irene, you participate in a lot of international events.
And one of the Hollywood stars asked for your number.
Yes.
I was at a party for a beauty event.
And it was in Paris Hilton's house.
- Really? - Yes.
I even wrote a contract.
It said that I couldn't tell anyone about her address,
or I must reimburse anything I break.
So I was really nervous,
and her house is...
- filled with pink stuff, unicorns, - Pink stuff and unicorns.
and there were her pictures everywhere.
- Paris walked in, - Yes.
my hair was dyed at the time,
and she was like, "Oh, my gosh. Your hair's so pretty."
I was so glad to see her, so I asked her to take a selfie.
And there are a lot of different camera applications...
in Korea.
So I turned on an app,
and there were hearts on the screen...
and a lot of cute shapes.
She was like, "Oh, my gosh. What is it?"
And she asked me to tell me what the application was.
(It's also pink in the picture.)
(There's a unicorn on top.)
She took my phone...
and input her number. I'm still in contact with her.
- Really? - I also texted her...
when I came back to Korea.
You meet a lot of famous celebrities,
and you have a certain way of taking selfies naturally.
Yes, I do.
When I'm with the celebrities...
You're all celebrities.
- I'm not a celebrity. - So naturally...
- I just do it naturally. - I just make a living...
by being on television.
Are you a celebrity?
I didn't say anything so that I can become a celebrity,
and you ruined it.
- Victor! - I don't know about that.
- Victor! - Victor!
I don't think so.
So I just approach naturally and say,
"Hi, Young Mi. Can we take a selfie?"
I try to be friendly...
and excited.
- Most of them say yes. - But I realized...
you were quite shy of strangers.
- No, I'm not shy of strangers. - Aren't you?
How do we take pictures with a tall person? Show us.
How would you take a picture, for instance,
with Seung Jin and other basketball players?
Please show us how.
I should step on a chair.
- Yes, show us. - Show us.
That's how you do it?
Like this.
- I see. - Wow.
- That's awesome. - Now you're at a similar height.
- We're at the same height. - What if there's no chair?
- What if there's no chair? - Yes.
Like this?
If there's no chair...
I should jump...
- You would jump. - and take a picture.
She's 178cm tall, she wears heels,
she steps on a chair, and then she's at the same height as him.
You're really tall.
Soo Yong, you're always expressionless...
when you take a picture.
Can you teach him some natural facial expressions...
when he takes a picture?
How would you take a picture with someone like him?
To look natural while smiling,
your cheekbones are lifted...
naturally when you say, "Frog."
I think...
your muscles here are too weak.
- He hasn't been using them. - You should exercise those.
- He doesn't use those muscles. - He hasn't been using them.
That's why your cheek muscles are weak.
You should smile using this area.
Try it. You can't.
It's shaking.
- Say, "Frog." - Say, "Frog."
Say, "Frog."
It looks weird, though.
- Say, "Frog." - He's shaking.
- The muscles are shaking. - They are.
- They're shaking. - They're actually shaking.
Keep doing it. Do it about ten times, then...
- You can look natural. - Am I being punished?
- But it's... - He's being punished.
Say, "Frog!"
(It's a punishment in the military.)
Seung Jin, you were...
the only player to go to the NBA in Korea.
And you're looking for someone to remember your time in the NBA.
- Yes. - Yes.
- You were in Portland. - Is it...
You were in Portland.
(Ha Seung Jin storms 2 assists.)
If you look at the article,
it says, "1 minute and 45 seconds against the New York Knicks,"
"he played actively."
You played actively in a minute and 45 seconds.
He played actively.
Some people could have thought you had two assists in soccer.
- "Failed to score his first goal." - "Failed to score his first goal."
It looks like a soccer article, but it's for basketball.
But actually,
making 2 assists in 1 minute and 45 seconds is...
- quite the result. - Right.
Because there are offenses and defenses.
So they move back and forth.
Was this during injury time?
- They call it the garbage time. - Yes.
The game was...
almost already decided.
And they give the new players a chance to experience.
Why do you think you've failed in the NBA?
You must have had a talent for them to scout you.
I was too young.
- You were too young. - I was too young.
The American players graduate colleges...
and they usually come prepared both technically...
and physically.
But I was neither in America nor Europe.
I used to play basketball with high school students...
in a small Asian country called the Republic of Korea.
And I had to compete with the NBA players all of a sudden.
I couldn't...
- compete with them. - Right.
So I think that was...
the reason I failed there.
So who are you looking for?
That guy.
The guy who wrote the article.
I have been laughed at for that article.
Of course, I feel proud of it,
and it built my character.
You played actively and made two assists.
You played for 1 minute and 45 seconds.
Now I feel grateful.
But at the time, I wonder why he had to use that headline...
and that certain picture.
- You want to know the intent. - I wanted to...
I wanted to find the editor.
So I posted a video on my channel.
I'm looking for the person who edited...
that newspaper at the time.
When this show airs, his article could say,
"Ha Seung Jin storms the talk show."
"He stormed Radio Star..."
"for 1 minute and 45 seconds."
A minute and 45 seconds is very short.
That's very short in here.
"He failed to make them laugh."
(They're only joking. "He succeeds to make them laugh.")
You were most surprised with the food...
- when you were in NBA. - Yes.
It was the other players...
who were surprised, not me.
The teams in Korea have...
training camps.
We eat together,
sleep together, and live together.
When I first went to New York and asked other players...
why they're not giving us food.
And they said, "Why would they give food when we're training?"
They asked me back.
You had to buy your own meals.
I told them, "When we train in Korea,"
"they give us meals, the players sleep together,"
"and we train the next morning."
"We basically live together."
And they were very surprised.
They said, "Why would you do that?"
"Then how would you spend time..."
"with your family and your loved ones?"
So it's different.
The culture is completely different.
For them,
basketball has to be within their lives.
Basketball was all I had to them.
- Right. - Right.
I hope we do it that way in Korea.
I was really taken aback by that.
It would have been much better if you said those on YouTube.
(Why would you say that all of a sudden?)
You should make videos about those.
- I should tell some stories. - Yes.
Was it about why the basketball in Korea...
was dying?
Well,
there are stories like this one.
But I must be careful with it.
But if someone wants to talk about it,
I'm all for it.
When he speaks about it,
people listen since he's so tall.
- He draws attention. - Yes.
The tallest ones become the class presidents.
You should do it yourself.
- I think he's right. - I could teach the players.
I watched him a lot when he was an ace in KCC.
I think that must be stressful.
They should have basketball within their lives.
This is what I want to add.
You two could do it together.
You're good.
You should do it together.
- She fits well anywhere she goes. - You should do it together.
She could go to events with me,
- and make YouTube videos with him. - You should do it together.
- Go ahead. - This is what I wanted to add.
When athletes play basketball...
I'll say basketball since I was a basketball player.
Playing basketball is...
to have a happy time with my own family.
But if you're playing basketball to the point you can't spend time...
with your family,
- Right. - then that's not right.
Then basketball becomes meaningless.
That's good.
- I like that. - That's what I think.
- Right. - People will give you a big hand.
- He's right. - He's right.
To talk about those,
I'll launch my own online TV channel.
(What?)
You tell me such things.
Then I'll deliver the stories on my online show.
(He still has ambition of becoming a successful online show host.)
Seung Jin said that when he was an active basketball player,
he was flustered when he was replaced by another player.
When I was a newcomer, I joined KCC Egis.
The star of that team was...
- Seo Jang Hoon. - I see.
- That's right. - Back then,
since I had played in the NBA,
I was confident and high-spirited. I was 23 or 24 years old.
I think Jang Hoon was around my current age.
- But he was still outstanding. - Yes.
However, he and I played the same position.
- You two were twin towers. - Exactly.
Hur Jae was our coach.
He planned to let us play together,
but it didn't result in good outcome.
- So he let us take turns. - I see.
Jang Hoon played first,
- and then I replaced him later. - Right.
That means he had to share the playing time...
- with me. - That's right.
I think he was a little upset about it.
Of course, he was upset.
When my turn came,
- as I walked onto the court, - I bet he looked upset.
- Did he look upset? - I felt like a sinner.
- I guess he looked really upset. - Yes, he did.
(He doesn't know what to say.)
- He couldn't hide his feelings. - That's right.
He was supposed to encourage Seung Jin.
I felt so apologetic toward him.
You should've done even better.
- I tried even harder. - Good.
In the end, Jang Hoon transferred to another team.
I see.
- Of course. - You can say...
- I caused him to leave the team. - Right.
- You had no choice. - That's how it goes, right?
There was nothing you could do about it.
It's also interesting that he and I played...
against each other in the playoff semifinal match.
- That's right. - I defeated Jang Hoon once again,
and won.
Is that when he got his head under your armpit?
Yes, exactly.
That happened in the game.
(Jang Hoon's head is buried in his armpit.)
Is it true that there was Jang Hoon Alert?
Since basketball players often live with their teammates,
there used to be 15 people when we ate together.
We were divided in 3 groups by age, and ate in 3 different rooms.
The oldest players were in one room and the younger ones in the others.
Since I was a newcomer, I was eating with the youngest players.
I went to the room where Jang Hoon was.
It was around 11pm.
He told me to sit down, and we had a chat.
While we were talking,
I only listened to him without saying anything,
and then he let me go.
- It was 3am. - Of course.
Jang Hoon is so chatty.
He's chatty.
- I listened to him for four hours. - My gosh.
- For four hours? - I knew it.
While I was in that room, I realized something.
- He's really chatty. - That's too much.
When my senior players entered that room, they all pretended...
- they were on the phone. - Of course.
While pretending to talk on the phone,
they left the room again if they saw Jang Hoon.
But at some point,
- they had to go to that room. - I see.
"Hey, I'm going to the room where Jang Hoon is."
"So call me 30 minutes later."
They made a plan.
- "Hi. Yes, go ahead." - "What's up?"
"I'll be back shortly. I have to take this call." They often did so.
- I know him well. He's chatty. - Unbelievable.
I once went to Japan with Jang Hoon.
It takes four hours...
from Yuzawa to Tokyo.
I slept the whole time.
But he chatted with the writers. My goodness.
The writers wanted to jump off the train.
- He must've talked a lot. - He's horribly chatty.
(24 hours a day is not enough for Jang Hoon.)
Irene has 1.6 million followers on social media.
(Jaw-dropping)
You said you have a set of rules on uploading posts.
Active users on social media tend to...
consider it as their own magazines.
- Absolutely. You're right. - Or their own media.
- There's a pattern. - I see.
- I upload a full body shot first. - A cool body shot? I see.
- Then I upload a scenery photo. - A cool body shot and then scenery.
Next, I upload a selfie.
There's a pattern like this.
- You don't repeat cool photos. - That's right.
So you upload different types of photos in turns.
- It would be boring... - A full body shot first and...
if I keep posting full body photos.
So I follow a certain pattern.
- You said "full body photo", right? - Yes. Did I say it wrong?
- Why do you keep saying "cool"? - I thought she said "cool".
- I misheard her. I'm sorry. - What's wrong with you?
Why? Come on.
I thought you said "cool".
- She said "full"? I was mistaken. - So I...
The good thing about social media...
is that you can create your own public image...
without being on fashion shows or fashion magazines...
as a professional model. I created my own through social media.
I've been trying many different styles.
- So... - She's incredibly popular.
- She is, indeed. - You mean, Irene?
Not only Irene,
- but also social media influencers. - That's true.
There are social media stars these days.
- That's right. - Yes.
I think they took our jobs.
That was unexpected.
- I didn't expect her to say that. - What are you going to do?
- That's not true. - We should find our own jobs.
- Anyone can become an influencer. - It drives me crazy.
- You can do it. - I'm planning to...
learn how to use social media.
(I'll become an influencer on social media too.)
I heard that Irene had a photoshoot...
at unusual places recently.
- Is that her photo? - Yes.
- Here are the photos. - It's a fish market.
This is a fish market, and this is a butcher's shop.
- Is it the one in Noryangjin? - Many people take photos like this.
- I thought we'd do it on a set. - I see.
But we went to an actual butcher's shop...
and an actual fish market.
Since it was a TV commercial,
we needed the fish to flap in the net.
- But the fish didn't look lively. - I see.
- I had to... - I guess the fish died quickly.
- It lacked drive like Soo Yong. - It lacked motivation.
Fish won't move when they are on camera.
- It's interesting. - Weirdly, it happens...
- That's nonsense. - It's true.
It actually happens.
- She says it's true. - It really happens.
- I enjoyed the shoot. - I know this from my experience.
I've done a lot of close-up shots.
Why didn't the fish cooperate?
Soo Yong seems to have improved a lot.
He didn't show much reactions before.
- But today, he keeps nodding... - He seems cheerful today.
He gives a lot of reactions.
(He looks very surprised.)
(He nods enthusiastically.)
However, did you hear what she said?
Or were you on autopilot?
I heard what she said and empathized with her.
- Oh, I see. - I can see that.
I imagined how I'd feel if I filmed a commercial at a butcher's shop.
- That's impressive. - What would you have done?
- You thought about it? - I would've done method acting.
- Please show us. - How would you have done it?
I think I would've stamped grade marks on my body like pork.
(That's new.)
Like the movie, "Encounters of the Spooky Kind"?
That's funny.
(Serious)
(Prime, prime, prime, prime, prime)
- He's amazing. - You actually listened to her.
(He's listening closely.)
Yoon Ah went on a trip overseas...
alone with her son.
It was the first time I went on a trip alone with him.
Besides, my son is autistic.
He has a developmental disorder.
He could get lost easily in many circumstances.
So I couldn't take him on a trip alone because I was worried.
Anyway, we went to Universal Studios.
He grew old enough to enjoy rides.
At first, I was so nervous...
because I was afraid I might lose my son.
I thought I might need someone else to be with us.
I was worried so much.
But I took him there alone.
When he saw this roller coaster,
- he got so excited. - I see.
I guess it seemed so fun to him.
He ran toward it to get a closer look.
After we rode the roller coaster,
I realized that I locked the locker twice,
which I shouldn't have, so there was no way...
I could open it again. My son was feeling so hot,
and started pestering me to buy him a drink.
So I looked for staff, but I couldn't see any.
So I walked around the whole place with my son.
Since I was looking for staff,
I couldn't pay much attention to my son.
And he went missing for a moment. But it turned out...
that he was looking at me.
He didn't act like that before that.
I would've lost him. Seeing how he was following me,
I realized that he had grown up so much.
- Of course. - Absolutely.
I was so touched.
- You must've been proud of him. - Yes, I was.
(Her son grew up a lot.)
(Now, they rely on each other.)
I once took my daughter...
- to an amusement park. - Yes.
Since it was a national holiday,
we had to wait three hours in line...
- just for one ride. - Exactly.
A while later, I saw a sing...
that said, "20 minutes from here". So I told her about it.
But when we turned around the corner 20 minutes later, I realized...
that it was the waiting line to take a photo with Mickey Mouse.
That sounds so boring.
Taking a photo is all.
- It wasn't a ride. - Right.
- It's not a ride. - That's right.
- You just take a photo. That's all. - That sounds so boring.
We waited for such a long time.
(I'm happy when you smile.)
(Happy)
Soo Yong, you said you have your own skill to look after children.
Parents read books to their children...
- before bed, right? - Yes.
- They usually sound exciting. - That's right.
- But I read like this. - You sound boring?
"Her mom said..."
"she shouldn't open the door to strangers while she's gone."
- Since I read books like this, - I see.
my child falls asleep in one minute.
Because it's boring.
- That's a great tip. - Because it's boring.
- It makes me feel sleepy. - It's boring.
I feel sleepy too.
She says she's sleepy.
Wake up.
He's so boring, indeed.
(Your voice makes me sleepy.)
Seung Jin, is it true that you attracted your wife...
strategically before getting married?
Yes, it's true.
One day, an acquaintance came to watch my game...
- with a friend. - Yes.
The friend who tagged along is my wife.
- I see. - She was just my type.
- I found her so attractive. - Yes.
I wanted to get to know her.
I offered a meal after the game, and so we did.
We kept in touch, but my wife seemed lukewarm.
And that made me competitive.
I told myself to make sure...
- To date her? - to make her mine.
I called her only on Wednesdays at 10:30pm.
Next Wednesday, I called her again...
at 10:30pm.
I held back the urge to call her before Wednesday came.
I kept this routine for five weeks.
- I called her only on Wednesdays. - He played hard to get.
At 10:30pm.
At 10:30pm on the Wednesday of the sixth week,
I didn't call her.
- My goodness. - She called me at 11pm.
"Seung Jin, why didn't you call me today?"
- She must've been curious. - He suddenly stopped calling her.
- He's so strategic. - Indeed.
It's not such a great strategy.
- Oh, my. - She took the bait.
We talked over the phone until 3am that day.
And we started dating.
- From that day? - Yes.
He knows how to win a woman's heart.
- He's like an expert. - Exactly.
When your wife called you at 11pm on Wednesday,
didn't she say, "Radio Star will begin in five minutes."
(Speechless)
- That was good. - "Seung Jin."
"Why won't you call me when Radio Star begins in five minutes?"
- "I meant to watch it after that." - "I should go watch it now. Bye."
Because the show begins shortly.
My goodness.
I'm sure that Wednesday nights are meaningful for you and your wife.
- Indeed. - It must be meaningful.
(Wednesday nights are meaningful in many ways.)
Despite all the efforts you made to marry her,
she's been jealous of your daughter?
Our eldest child is a boy, and he's eight years old.
Our second child is a girl.
She's five years younger than our son.
Whenever my wife...
complains that she's unwell...
All former athletes have this tendency.
Since we got injured so many times,
- we're insensitive about pain. - You're insensitive.
- But my wife feels disappointed. - Of course, she's disappointed.
She expects me to take care of her when she's unwell.
But I only say, "Go see a doctor. Take medicine."
Does she have to cough up blood to get your attention?
How sick does she have to be?
What should she do to get your attention?
You won't even budge when she coughs a little.
- What is your standard? - However...
- What's your standard? - Please continue.
But when it comes to my daughter,
when she just gets a mosquito bite,
I make a scene.
I search every corner of the house to catch the mosquito.
Things like that make my wife feel a little disappointed.
- Of course, she's disappointed. - It's understandable.
You should be nice to her.
He dotes on his daughter.
There's still someone...
who misunderstands Soo Yong. Is that true?
I always...
say jokes in a serious tone.
- That's true. - Even when I just met someone,
I say jokes in a serious tone.
- Indeed. I saw it several times. - When I met...
Sam Okyere for the first time,
- Sam Okyere? - I said...
- He's from Ghana, right? - Yes.
I said, "Sam, I've been to Africa."
Gosh.
He said, "Really? Where in Africa did you go?"
I said, "I served in the French Foreign Legion."
(He added another lie.)
He asked where I was.
I said I was in Morocco. While we were talking,
a staff member said the shoot would begin.
I had to explain to Sam after the shoot.
You didn't get to talk to him?
- He couldn't talk to him. - He left after the shoot.
So he still thinks...
that I used to be a mercenary who served in Africa.
Exactly. I was there too.
I was fooled too.
While waiting for the shoot, I also told Irene...
that I used to be a basketball player.
He said he used to be a basketball player.
She believed me.
I believed him too.
He sounded so confident.
- I still don't know his occupation. - She wouldn't know.
- You still don't know? - Did he...
turn comedian while playing basketball?
- No. - He's a comedian.
- He's just a comedian. - I've never played basketball.
You should make it clear that you were joking.
- He said it so seriously. - Exactly. He sounded serious.
Just like I did to Irene,
- I was joking to Sam. - Right.
Sam will be surprised when he watches the show.
- He'll be shocked. - Right.
"How could he..."
(I was joking.)
You are watching a high-end music program,
Radio Star.
Today's theme is for those who want to improve...
their presence instead of just being tall.
- "The Song to Make Me Look Big". - "Big".
- All right. - Let's hear the song...
that Seung Jin chose.
("Ring My Bell" by Dynamic Duo)
(Fantastic combination of exciting rap and chorus with high notes)
- He chose this song? - Great.
- It's a difficult song to sing. - Indeed.
Why did you choose this song?
In the pre-interview,
the writer asked if I'm good at signing.
I said, "I'm not that good,"
- "but I like singing." - I see.
She asked if I can rap.
So I said I could do that too.
She asked if I could perform "Ring My Bell",
and I said yes.
So she suggested I should perform this song.
- And I said I would. - "I can do that."
- But she must've been worried. - I see.
She said, "Could you sing another song?"
- It's a difficult song, you know. - Indeed.
But I said I would stick to the song.
- "I can do it." - Yes.
Shall we hear Seung Jin sing "Ring My Bell"?
- All right. - Let's hear him sing.
- He's tall, indeed. - Indeed.
- He can reach the mirror ball. - He's so tall.
- You can touch it, right? - Yes.
Touch the mirror ball.
He can reach it.
We'll adjust the lighting.
They need to adjust it because he's too tall.
He needs a bigger stage.
That's the widest angle...
- in Radio Star history. - That's right.
Let's have some fun.
Let's get it!
(He starts performing confidently under the brighter light.)
(He started too fast.)
(That's okay.)
(Embarrassed)
(He pulls himself together and looks relaxed again.)
(He's not bad at all.)
(Could he be Naul of giants?)
(Anytime, baby)
(Laughing)
(What? He suddenly starts rapping.)
(He's as good as rappers on "Show Me the Money".)
(Let us all dance to the rhythm.)
(With his great rap skills and large physique,)
(he takes over the stage as if he's running on the basketball court.)
(He even dances to the beat.)
(As he raps so fast just like Dynamic Duo,)
(he heats up the atmosphere.)
(Immersed in the song)
(He's running toward the climax.)
(Laughing)
(No one could even imagine his falsetto voice.)
That's amazing.
(He sings high notes with a clear voice.)
(He's good at singing falsetto.)
(He leaves the stage hurriedly.)
He's good at singing falsetto.
He's good.
Thank you. We really enjoyed it.
Bum Soo has been here with us as our today's special MC.
- How was it? - I'm curious.
It's an honor for me just to have a chance to sit here.
But I'm said because I didn't get to talk much about myself.
- Did you have anything else to say? - You see,
- I could see that. - I'll release a song in October.
- You said it earlier. - My song will be out in October,
and my concert will be held in December.
- You said that earlier. - All right.
- Invite me for Shorties special. - All right. We'll do that.
- We have a lot of choices. - Something that I can fit in.
- Absolutely. - We can do My Ugly Friend special.
Enough with that theme, though.
All right.
Today's theme was "Human Body Exploration: The World of Giants".
Here, we have a skinny man, a man with slanted eyes,
a man with a jutting chin,
and a man who is much taller than average.
The differences we have...
make us more special and beautiful.
We will say goodbye here. See you next week.
- Please. - Please.
(Shell, Be Gone special will visit you next week.)
